version 3 is vastly better than 2.

There are still some problems with it, mostly due to browsers rewriting 
your code  the way they want to.

For example, try the following code:

<html>
 <head>
 </head>
 <body>
  <style type="text/css">
   *{border:1px solid #000;margin:20px;display:block}
  </style>
 </body>
</html>

When you view that, you'll see that the <style> element has been moved 
into the head.

HTMLArea 3 does not do any workarounds that solve that kind of thing, 
meaning that you are susceptible to problems such as the above (if you 
write <style> blocks or <script>, etc, in your code, they may disappear.)

Then again - for simple blogging, it may be good enough.

Donncha - interested in an option that will turn this on/off based on 
the author's preferences? I could write it tonight - I've been doing a 
bit of work on my own copy of b2++.
